It's called "Fragments", and it's really sturctural and can be quite confusing. I just want to see if people will understand it...so tell me what you think of it, please?

The girl smiled sadly as she walked away. Woods stretched behind her, dark and unfulfilling. Her father was staring after her; she could feel his contemptuous gaze piercing her back.
She felt no regret for what she had done. Her father deserved it and she knew it. A bad childhood, nightmares every night, her life and future always hindered by shadows of the past.
Why hadn’t he ever left her alone? Why did her memories always follow her?
Out of her line of vision she knew her father was punching something, expressing his anger in some way.
“Is he remembering all those bad things he did to my mother? Is he remembering all the things he had planned for me, would have forced me into? Does he regret them?” she wondered. She felt the urge to look behind her. The creaking of branches and the wind rustling behind her seemed deafening. She began to turn around.
She turned, slowly, slowly, until she could begin to see a black trench coat.
And then she was hit with a flood. And all she could feel was hurt and regret and who she used to be.
~~~~~~~~

Veronica smiled sadly as she walked away. She took stock of herself: she felt totally secure, if only a little sad.
Veronica concentrated on nothing but the moment she was currently residing in, the step she was taking at that moment. She stared at the leaves under her feet.
Her father had mistreated her mother all those years, and now, right now, she was mistreating him.
Veronica could only feel the wind on her cheeks, she had shut her eyes. “I wonder if Mother is proud of me, wherever she is.” She wondered.
Rocks scattered under Veronica’s feet, and she could feel hair whipping against her face. “No regrets, don’t turn back.” She mentally chanted to herself.
It wasn’t until she stumbled over a root with her eyes closed that Veronica was hit by a flood.
She might not be able to see behind her, but she couldn’t see where she was going either.
~~~~~

Veronica Donahue smiled sadly as she walked away. She did not deliberately control anything; she simply said what she had to say to her father about all those years of hurt, and then she had left, feeling however she liked. Veronica was free.
The only thing she could see was a horizon stretching out to forever, it seemed almost comically metaphorical.
Veronica was eighteen years old, and her mother had died the year before. Her mother had been tricked into an abusive marriage by her father, and the doom of a housewife’s life was expected of her also. Veronica smiled at the thought of not having restrictions.
In front of her there was a clump of maple trees, and a small stream that bubbled cheerfully. And when Veronica stretched her neck, craned it forward and squinted her eyes, she could see her friend Luke waiting for her in his bright red car. He had come for support.
And then, the flood hit her. As she stepped out of the woods into the fading sunset, she was hit by the most powerful flood of realization she thought possible. She didn’t need to look behind her, or at her feet, or shut her eyes, she simply needed to look ahead, and she saw all that she could be.
~~~~~
Veronica smiled as she stepped into the woods. She saw a black trench coat waiting for her. She stepped forward and began to speak; Veronica knew what to do, and she swelled with joy as her path, and more importantly the way she would walk it, fell perfectly into place.

End.

I'm really into photography, like not so much taking pictures of people but scenery and nature and the city. things like that. I just have a normal digital camera though. What would be better for wanting to taking pictures like this? Getting a specific camera? Or having an editing program on the computer?

EN MEMORIUM
A sonnet in honor and memory of a true master

He passed away in honor; and mourners
Wept at his death--he was a true artist.
Though decades pass, we, though foreigners,
Forget not yet the genius we have missed.
And now, sorry at our deprivation,
Find great comfort in the treasures we hold:
The greatest is indeed God's salvation,
As he, within his finest chapters told.
I wonder, if he here and alive,
Would I be strong enough to breathe "thank you."?
For learning hours, inspiration athrive,
The scenes that touched--made me sob, and smile, too;
O! I think I should like, when dead, to lie
In Westminster Abbey, at Dickens' side.




Thank you for your time, and comments, in advance.

The First Time I saw you
The feeling was true
Of the fact that your
One of a few

When I looked in your eyes
I felt like I could fly
And I dreaded I would
Have to say good bye

When I heard your voice
I felt sweet Rejoice
That’s when I knew
You were my choice

I’ve had feelings for you before
But I was blocked by a door
I wont give up now
Even if I fall to the ground

Your amazing, beautiful,
Sweet and true
And that’s why I want to be with you!

I have a short story that I have no idead how to name it. The short premise is:

One man reenters inside the lives of his old love and her partner to take action on his revenge- in his side his fiancé accompanies him. A ritzy clan of four estranged acquaintances intermingles in each other’s secret vault of lies and deceit. The only way to protect themselves of uncovering the truth is through blackmail of one another. It's set in the roaring twenties and it was inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." I have an entire in depth story outline and its amazing. I just don't have a title. The story's centreral theme is betrayal and taking vengence on those who hurt you even if it hurts those close to you. The tagline is "Decadence is a disgrace in the eyes of the eclipse." Please help me, guys.

I just finished the seventh book, but I'm a bit confused about one aspect of the story: How was the horcrux removed from Harry's body? How did Voldemort destroy the horcrux without killing Harry?

For history I am filling out a map and need the routes of the Normans and Bretons. I can't find them anywhere. If you could find a map with the labled routes that would be great.
